Every 5 days is far too frequent for baby boas. As I said before, breeders will feed even neonates (just-born babies) every 7-10 days. There is no way to feed so she'll grow "as fast as can be done healthy". Forget that idea. The more slowly your baby grows, the healthier she'll be. Boas naturally grow fast. You'll be surprised at how fast. In 2-3 years, she's gonna be quite impressive.
Awesome. See I know fish, inside and out. I've successfully performed surgery on my fish, diagnosed and treated disease, developed husbandry techniques that were far from the norm, with amazing repeatable results, been flamed for it, etc. Bottom line is I knew what was up with fish, and even have a potential captive world record for size of a particular species that doesn't often do well in captivity...
